Migrate Resources to Another Jump Server

In JumpCloud Privileged Access Management (PAM), every server, database, and Privileged Website that has Web Shield on is associated with a Jump Server. Users reach the resource through that Jump Server.

With Migrate Resources, you move this association from one Jump Server to another in a few clicks. Users keep access to the resources, now through the new Jump Server. This article is for IT Admins who manage Jump Servers in PAM.

Migrate Resources overview

Prerequisites

  • Another Jump Server to receive the resources.
  • Network access from the target Jump Server to the resources, on their ports, and from your users to the target Jump Server.
warning

The migration changes only which Jump Server the resources use. It does not change network rules.

Migrating Resources​

  1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
  2. Go to Access > PAM > Jump Servers.
  3. In the Actions column of the Jump Server that has the resources, open the three-dot menu and click Migrate Resources.

The migration has three steps: Choose Resources, Choose Jump Server, and Review and Migrate.

Choosing Resources​

  2. (Optional) To find resources, use the search box, or click Filter and choose a category: Privileged Websites, Server, or Database.
  3. Click Next.
